If I Had ZERO Crypto… Here’s Exactly What I Would Do

If I Had ZERO Crypto… Here’s Exactly What I Would Do

Let’s cut to the chase.

Despite the apocalyptic dip, geopolitical conflicts, and the fact that we're just a day away from the Bitcoin halving…

If I had ZERO exposure to the crypto market at all, right now is when I would start accumulating.

Not in five minutes from now. Not tomorrow. Not next Sunday.

RIGHT NOW is when I would start.

I’ll tell you my favorite crypto buying strategy I’ve been doing for a decade -- it works no matter what’s happening in the markets -- in a moment.

(Hint: I would NOT mortgage my house and throw it all in.)

First, let me tell you WHY NOW.

I promise you…

It’s braindead simple:

When everyone else is panicking and selling off their bags, that's when the real opportunities present themselves.

Move away from herd instinct. Embrace the cliché: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."

Right now, the fear is becoming so thick in the crypto markets I can almost taste it. But here's the thing -- the fundamentals haven't changed.

The halving is nigh. Nobody can halt it, even if they tried. It’s unstoppable.

Same with tokenization. Same with DePin. Same with DeSci.

What I saw in Honduras (Prospera), El Salvador (Bitcoin Beach), Costa Rica (Bitcoin Jungle)… even the eclipse event in Texas, which held some crypto-focused events at the “Onchain Stage” … was only confirmation.

No less…

If you, like me, believe investors will continue to turn to gold and silver (confession: I have owned both for over a decade. Shhh. Don’t tell James)...

They will also turn to Bitcoin for the same reasons. And at a faster clip.

AND

As Bitcoin's price rises, interest tends to flow into Ethereum and other L1/L2 chains, which can go up hundreds of percent in a flash.

James and I are exceptionally interested in AI infrastructure coins, gaming, tokenization, decentralized physical infrastructure (DePin) projects, Layer 2s, picks and shovels, and more.

YES, some of these plays are riskier than others. (And YES, there’s inherent risk involved in all of them.)

But the projects with real utility, users, and real-world solutions? Many will see astronomical gains.

Now, I'm not saying to go out and mortgage your house to buy crypto.

That would be stupid.

But if you've got a healthy appetite for risk, this could be the opportunity of a lifetime.

You didn’t hear it from me, but…

This interview with James -- wherein he reveals everything you need to know about how to play crypto in 2024 -- might disappear from the interwebs after the halving.
